Complete your language test asap.

How many points will you have under EE with the year of Canadian work experience? This may still not be enough to be selected.

Talk to your employer about doing an LMIA and switching to a closed work permit. That is the best option by far.
 
Hello, my post-graduation work permit is expiring on Dec 18, 2025.So far i am unemployed and I got a job offer and they told me that I cannot be employed because my work permit is expiring in four months.

I am really stressed, and I don't have any other option kindly please help me.

You cannot extend your PGWP based on a job offer. Your employer would need to obtain an approved LMIA so that you can apply for a closed work permit.

Hello my PGWP is expiring on January 3rd. My husband's employer filed for LMIA for him since November 6th and we are waiting for an outcome, he has applied for an extension of his work permit explaining the situation with LMIA number quoted in the LOE, he's gotten an extension till December 2026, can I apply for SOWP based on that? or do I have to wait for his LMIA to be approved first? Please help if you can! Also asking what to do for the kids, do I file visitor records based on his extension or apply for a vistor record for myself and add them. applying for a visitor record for me means I can't work after January 3rd
